The Second Annual FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT FUNDRAISER in honour of Dr. Mutulu Shakur will be on SUNDAY NOV 9 from 11.30am – 7:00pm at Six Degrees Community Acupuncture, 204 Spadina Avenue, Second Floor.
This is an opportunity for everyone to explore different kinds of Traditional Medicine from Acupuncture, Yoga, Ayurvedic treatments, Shiatsu, Reiki and more all at PWYC and Sliding Scale rates in our HEAL & HONOUR space. We will also be offering three informative panels on natural ways to keep healthy to EDUCATE & EMPOWER. This year we have also added an ART & ADVOCACY room with an interactive art space and photography exhibit by Amrit Singh breaking down barriers on how we see healing and most importantly, WHO we see receiving the healing.
The funds will be donated to the Friends and Family of Dr. Mutulu Shakur organization in NYC to support his legal defence, commissary, and publishing projects promoting justice for the Black community. In addition, partial proceeds will be given to Annishnawbe Health Toronto, to honour our Indigenous comrades whose land we practice on.
Dr. Mutulu Shakur is a Doctor of Acupuncture, Revolutionary, Freedom Fighter and Healer Activist. He spearheaded a detox program using only Acupuncture at the Lincoln Memorial Hospital in the Bronx in the 1970s, started the first Black Acupuncture Organization (BAANA), and developed one of the first Acupuncture schools for Black and underprivileged peoples in Harlem to spread Traditional Medicine to those ignored in America. In addition to his work as a Healer Activist, he was also a leader in the Black Freedom movement as a member and working with the Black Liberation Army, The Republic of New Afrika and The Black Panthers. Dr. Shakur is also Tupac Shakur’s stepfather.
